Quote - A second problem is that WW2, and Crossdresser do not work on facial morphs.

Hopefully that's where this new version of TDMT can help.  Through most of its development (since late 2006), the focus has been on trying to specialize on transfers between heads and faces.  This latest version seems to get us there fairly well.

I'm not sure I'll manage to add any batch handling before the point at which PhilC has added WW support for Antonia and/or Brad.  I'll need to think about how to approach it and, as noted, I tend to develop new ideas rather slowly.  😊

Quote - Was Spanki suggesting that one of the uni-mesh figures could be used as a sort of universal reference to which all other figures could be compared?

Sorry, there's some confusion of terminology surrounding the word "unimesh".  Long before Vicky 3 and the Daz Unimesh figures, PoserPython was referring to a figure's base geometry as a "unimesh."  The PPy command UniMeshInfo() allows the programmer to access information about how an individual actor's Geometry() fits into the figure's unimesh.  It's largely to do with converting vertex indices between the base geometry and the actor geometry.  Spanki was suggesting that I work with the base geometry and do index conversions back and forth, to deal with weld seams between actors.

Odf has suggested using a universal reference figure, and I can see merit in the idea.  But as I think about it, I wonder if it is helpful.  It would depend on how it is approached.  I may not be thinking about the idea the same way odf is.  I can imagine some problems and complications, mainly resulting from the fact that the current morph transfer script doesn't seem to transfer shapes anywhere near as effectively as morphs.  :(

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
